Clipboard Helper sits quietly in the background and collects every piece of text you copy. Instead of losing each clipboard entry when you copy the next one, everything is saved together — organized into categories you define.
No more switching back and forth between windows to paste one fragment at a time. Just copy everything you need, then find it all in one place.
How it works
- Press Monitor clipboard (or let it start automatically).
- Copy text from any application — browser, PDF reader, email, code editor.
- Each copied fragment appears in the Collected Text pad, one after another.
- Switch between categories to keep different topics separate.
- Everything is auto-saved to plain .txt files in your Documents folder.

Clipboard Helper captures text only — not images, files, or rich formatting. This is intentional: it does one thing and does it well.
